Phil, it's not NAFTA you should have expected to change things. NAFTA is Canada and Mexico. We get things like rubber from the same countries as you and with similar supplier agreements that are difficult to police and enforce what with trying to stay on top of all the sub-contracting to other manufacturers, many hidden. Mexico is still a bit of the wild west, but their domestic output is nowhere near as significant as Asia and India. Where factory working conditions are best addressed is at the WTO level and with the various ATAs (Asia Trade Agreements) with individual countries. Negotiating a good ATA has been very difficult for your country due to politics. Negotiating individual ATAs by smaller countries like Canada and Mexico has been difficult because we have less economic clout to bargain with. The TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) between the 12 Pacific Rim countries was supposed to help combine our economic clout to negotiate even better agreements, but again was overcome by internal politics, mostly in your country, and your country withdrew, which doomed it to failure. Canada and Mexico continued to try negotiating with the 9 other countrues, but that too failed. The combined shopping list of trade demands by the 11 different countries just became so great and too difficult to negotiate properly with just one super economy now at the table (India exports a small fraction to the Americas compared to China).

And for those thinking this is off-topic to the brickboard and Volvo, remember that Geely owns Volvo and Geely is China (under direct government influence). Geely wants Volvo technology and manufacturing methods to use in their own domestic production at low labour rates, cutting whatever environmental and safety corners they can. Those vehicles are not a threat to the North American Volvo market for just such reasons, but that may change some day when everything is electric, self-driving bumper cars.
